Is My Lawn Causing My Leak?

One major part of waterproofing is taking a good look at the land surrounding the property, and poor drainage is a huge cause of basement leaks all around the Maryland area. Poor drainage can be seen in a variety of ways, and if you’ve been experiencing moisture in your basement, but you can’t see a known cause, taking a look at your lawn may be your next logical step. At AA Action Waterproofing, we make sure to look at your property as well as your home and its foundation, and this is how we tackle leaks at all angles in our basement waterproofing services.

Oversaturation in parts of your lawn is a telltale sign that your lawn could be contributing to your leak. When water is unable to be soaked into the soil, or drained away as it needs to be, it will sit and over-soak the land surrounding your home. Not only can this allow water to make its way in, but it can cause damage and stress to your foundation as well, making for a waterproofing nightmare sure to result in a messy cleanup and inconvenient repairs.

In order to avoid finding your home with unwanted water inside, the best course of action you can take is to have your lawn and your basement investigated by a professional and waterproofed to allow water to be whisked away safely. At AA Action Waterproofing, our professionals can assess the state of your lawn, your basement, and your foundation in an effort to tackle your leak effectively, so you won’t have to worry about your lawn contributing to your leaks again.

If you find standing water on your property, and you feel that this could be contributing to the leaks you’re experiencing, simply give us a call at AA Action Waterproofing to see what the professionals have to say today!
